LG Optimus 3D Overview
The LG Optimus 3D could usher in a new era of mobile phones. Equipped with a screen that is capable of showing 3D content without the need for wearing 3D glasses, the Optimus 3D is truly an innovative device. But it doesn't stop there because perhaps even MORE exciting is the fact that the Optimus 3D can RECORD 3D pictures and video with the uniquely designed dual-rear camera.
Even without 3D recording and playback the Optimus 3D is filled with great specs. With a beautiful 4.3-inch screen, 5MP camera, 1GHz dual core processor and a host of great multimedia features, the Optimus 3D definitely pops out.

LG Optimus 3D Reviews
T3 The Optimus Black (or P970) is the lightest handset out there at 109g, and super slim with a solid feel, and with a 4-inch NOVA display, it’s also one for the tech-head looking for market-leading screen technology.
CNET The LG Optimus 3D has one thing going for it. It's the first mobile phone to offer glasses-free 3D.
Engadget Cilantro might be the most polarizing thing on this planet. Some people can't eat a fish taco without it, others cry frothy tears of dishsoap at its mere mention. The same may well be true of the LG Optimus 3D.
Android Central Begun, the 3D war has. And whether you're a fan, or a skeptic, there are going to be two high-end phones you can't ignore this summer that have embraced 3D technology. First out of the gate (but just barely) is the LG Optimus 3D.
Android Community We’ve already reviewed the T-Mobile G-Slate back here, and the HTC EVO 3D isn’t quite ready to go yet, now how does the Optimus contender contend? We shall see!
Mobile Syrup The realm of 3D phones has yet to be fully tapped, we fear, and the Optimus 3D, despite its stereoscopic proclivities, is a high-end Android phone at heart.
Pocket Now The LG Optimus 3D was introduced at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona as the manufacturer's first glasses-free 3D phone.
Pocket Lint The LG Optimus 3D was an early entry into the 3D mobile phone market - we first saw it back in February - but it’s only just coming to market, and has a new rival in the guise of the HTC Evo 3D.
PCWorld Although the 3D functionality of the phone is limited, the concept itself is well integrated. However, the Optimus 3D has mediocre battery life, and its chunky design will not suit all tastes.
